Storage Field Day 14

The Dell EMC High-End Systems Division talked about two systems. First about the VMAX All Flash, and later about the XtremIO X2. This post is about the latter one. The XtremIO X2 builds upon the foundation of the original “old” XtremIO, but also does a couple of things differently. This post will explore those difference a bit, and will also talk about asynchronous and synchronous replication.

Back in October we visited Dell EMC for a few Storage Field Day 14 presentations. Walking into the new EBC building we bumped into two racks. One with a VMAX all flash system and another with a XtremIO X2. Let’s kick off the Storage Field Day 14 report with VMAX All Flash. There’s still a lot of thought going into this enterprise class storage array…

Storage Field Day 14 is taking place next month on 8-10 November in Silicon Valley. After having to skip one Storage Field Day, I’m glad to be back at the table for this one. If you look at the event page, it might seem there’s not that many presentations going on: only 4 companies listed as of today. But don’t be mistaken: Dell EMC will have 5 presentations, so we will not be slacking!
